The Claire Ollier Appeal - Gold Coin Donation

28 Feb 2014

One of our GBJT players, Claire Ollier (Level 4, 2012 and 2013), sister of Liam Ollier (2011, 2012, 2013), was diagnosed with a brain tumour last year. She has been receiving treatment but needs to travel to the USA for further treatment. GBJT is hoping to raise some funds for the family by asking players for a gold coin donation over the next 2 weeks at tennis fixtures. For further information, please read The Claire Ollier Appeal Facebook Page at www.facebook.com/theclaireollierappeal

If you would like to donate, please see Peta at UQ Tennis Centre or Peter at Tennyson.

Season 1 2014 Commences

27 Feb 2014

GBJT got off to a great start last Saturday with the weather being very pleasant and not too hot.

If you need the team draw sent to you again, please let us know. It is important to have the Team and Parent Roster information handy. The draw also has information about the procedures to follow if you need to find a fill in.

Some Captains have had difficulties contacting team members, so if you have not heard from your captain, please contact him/her and maybe give an alternate phone number or email address and the best time of contact.

Parents are reminded to know their Roster dates. Having a parent supervising on each court each week helps the afternoon run smoothly and makes the play more enjoyable for the players. If there are any problems on court, please let the Centre Supervisor know as soon as possible.

It was a hot and fine day for our Finals Day at both the QTC and UQ Centres and fittingly we had many close matches to determine the results for the day! It was great to see so many family and friends come out and support the players on the day and the enjoyment and spirit in which the finals were played is a credit to our players. Well done to all!

Our players and parents enjoyed the family BBQ, drinks and the Presentation of Trophies and Awards at the conclusion of play. Our Winner’s, Runners-up and Best of the Rest received their trophies and the awards were given to our Sportsmanship and Most Improved recipients. We have included a list of the results below.

First Prize – Taylor Family (Zachary, Level 1)

Second Prize - Chua Family (Jeremiah, Level 1)

A special thank you for all our parents and helpers who made the day run so smoothly and made it such an enjoyable event for all. We thank all our players and parents and trust you had an enjoyable season of tennis with GBJT and look forward to welcoming many of you back next year. We also hope many of you get to the Brisbane International and see the likes of Roger Federer, Serena Williams and many other great players in action.
